Midnight.
The moon was dark and the winds were strong.
Fang Zinan brought Nan Yulan and the others to the edge of the western cliff.
Seeing Fang Zinan ordering his guards to play with things at the foot of the cliff, Nan Yu Lan didn't know what it was, so he asked: "What are you playing with?"
He ordered someone to place the board on the ground, and then said to Nan Yulan, "In a while, we will use this board to spring up and ambush the Grand Preceptor's troops to rescue the empress and the crown prince. Sea General is responsible for supporting us from the foot of the mountain and destroying the Grand Preceptor in one fell swoop." The mission this time is very dangerous, we must be careful. If we do not save him by the appointed time, General Hai need not wait any longer.
Nan Yulan glanced at him and asked, "You plan to risk your life with me?"
"If we were to cooperate with this board, only Xiao Tianyuan and I in the military would be able to do it. He is currently heavily injured, so I can't let him take the risk. Therefore, I have to do this myself." Fang Zinan said something and put the wooden board back on. "Alright, bodyguard Ding, you can throw us on it now." After saying this, Fang Zinan stood on the board, "Let's begin."
Nan Yu Lan couldn't help but raise his head and look at him with a complicated gaze. Then, without a word, he took two steps forward. With the help of the bullet board, he flew up the cliff very quickly and landed on the cliff. Then he also landed on the cliff.
Fang Zhinan and NanYu Lan climbed the cliff face to face, immediately crossing hands with the enemy. They drew their swords and attacked a few times, clashing with the enemy soldiers.
The empress and crown prince were both surprised to see someone come to their rescue, but at the same time surprised as well. The fact that these two could actually fly up from such a high cliff was enough to stun them!
Under the dim moonlight, the Crown Prince recognized Fang Zinan and blurted out, "General?"
Fang Zinan wasn't in a hurry to reply and instead whispered to Nan Yulan: "Miss Nan, you stall the enemies here, I'm going to save them."
Nan Yu Lan nodded, attracting all the enemies, so that it would be easier for Fang Zi Nan to save them.
In the dead of night, the sound of weapons clashing against each other was exceptionally ear-piercing. It quickly alarmed the Grand Preceptor.
When the Grand Preceptor heard the sounds of fighting, he couldn't help but be shocked. "What happened?"
The Military Advisor hastened to reply. "Grand Preceptor, Fang Zinan has brought people to save the empress and the crown prince."
"What?" The Grand Preceptor was so shocked that his voice changed. "We mustn't let him save the empress and crown prince. If he does, then our power will be gone!" He shouted in panic, "Men, men! "The enemy has launched a sneak attack. Quickly kill them."
The Grand Preceptor was frightened out of his wits. When Fang Zinan saw the crown prince and the empress, he couldn't help but ask, "Empress, crown prince, how are you doing?"
"We're fine. Great General, be careful." The Crown Prince answered.
Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the cliff, Protector Ding and Hai Yuexing looked at each other. He was worried about Fang Zinan's safety and asked urgently, "General, let's attack!"
Hai Yue nodded her head and waved her blade. "Charge!"
The soldiers under the cliff had long been set up on the path in the mountain stream. Upon hearing the order, they shouted, "Kill!" He rushed forward.
Fang Zinan and Zhexiu killed all the soldiers surrounding them while the Grand Preceptor was frightened and frightened. He shouted, "Kill them, kill them for this Grand Preceptor!"
"General, be careful!" The Crown Prince couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Fang Zinan use his sword like the wind and kill all the enemies near him.
The Military Advisor could see everything clearly from the other side. "Grand Preceptor, Fang Zinan is killing his way over here."
Ah!" Fang Zinan is here. What should we do? What should we do? " The Grand Preceptor was so anxious that he grabbed the Military Advisor's hand and asked in a panic.
The advisor looked at the situation and came up with a plan. "We will set fire to the Queen and the Crown Prince, attract their attention, and then take the opportunity to escape."
"Alright, alright …" The Grand Preceptor hastily pushed his army forward. "Why aren't you leaving yet? Hurry and set the place on fire!"
The Military Advisor immediately led several people to the wooden stake that the Empress and the Crown Prince were tied up to. In their hands, they held burning torches.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and set the fire!" The Grand Preceptor hastily gave the order.
When the fire was ignited, the Grand Preceptor and his Imperial Advisors took the opportunity to flee.
"Great General …" "The great general …" The Crown Prince shouted in panic, hoping that Fang Zinan would come and save them.
When they saw the fire, Fang Zhennan and Lan Lan immediately jumped over and cut the ropes tied to the empress and the Crown Prince. They took out the long ropes they had prepared beforehand and tied them to the Crown Prince, asking, "Crown Prince, are you afraid?"
"No!" The Crown Prince shook his head.
Fang Zinan nodded and gave a short explanation, "Alright, the fire has already started. We can't retreat down the mountain, so we can only jump down from here. You grab the rope and jump down. Someone is coming down to pick you up."
"Alright, let me jump down first!" The Crown Prince was a man full of vigor after all. He didn't show any fear in his eyes as he grabbed the rope and jumped down.
Seeing the enemies coming at them from all directions, Fang Zinan raised his sword to block them, saying to Yulan: "Miss Nan, you have good lightness skills and the empress doesn't know martial arts. I'll trouble you to bring the empress and jump down."
"Alright!" Without hesitation, she grabbed the empress's shoulder with one hand and the rope with the other before leaping into the air.
Fang Zinan was the only one left on the cliff. The soldiers that were attacking the mountain had not yet reached the top of the mountain, and the fire was raging everywhere, and those that could retreat were all sealed off by the enemy. The wind blew from the mountain, and the fire almost burned Fang Zinan.
The cliff was extremely high. If they hadn't jumped up from the slabs, they wouldn't have been able to land on the cliff. Although they could grasp onto the rope when they jumped down, it was still extremely dangerous. Just as Fang Zinan grabbed the rope and jumped down, he suddenly felt empty in his center of gravity. The rope was broken, and he immediately fell down the cliff.
As the night was dark, they could not see Fang Zinan's movements. Hai Yuejian and his men waited at the bottom of the cliff, and they saw that Fang Zinan was like a kite with its string cut. He did not jump off the mountain but instead tumbled down the cliff, crying out in fear, "Great General …" "The great general …"
The expression on Guard Ding's face changed from fright as he hurriedly asked, "How did this happen?"
"Is there even a need to ask? Something must have happened to the great general." Hai Yuheng stamped his feet and ordered his men to find someone to escort the Empress and the Crown Prince back to the palace.
Before long, the soldiers had charged up the mountain and defeated the Grand Preceptor's garrison army. They sent someone to report, "General Hai, our troops have already occupied the mountain, but we haven't seen the Grand Preceptor."
"All of you, bring a group of troops to search the Grand Preceptor while the rest of you follow me to the mountain stream to look for the great general." Hai Yue instructed, then looked at Nan Yu Lan: "Miss Nan, you've worked hard, why don't you follow the empress and the crown prince back first."
"I don't know if your Great General is alive or dead. Why don't I stay and help you?" Nan Yulan did not move.
Hai Yuexing shook his head, "Thank you for Miss Nan's help. I will send someone to continue looking for the Great General. Miss Nan, it's better if you go back."
